"We are very honored to again have Speaker Boehner join us at the GAC,” said CUNA President and CEO Bill Cheney. “We know he has a full agenda in the House with debt ceiling, sequestration and government funding measures all coming to the fore near the time of our conference. The Speaker’s acceptance of our invitation is indicative of his appreciation for all credit unions do to ably serve their members in Ohio and nationwide.”

Speaker Boehner first addressed CUNA’s GAC in 2011. He is one of two sitting Speakers of the House to address the CU movement’s premier national conference. (Then-Speaker Newt Gingrich spoke at the GAC in February 1998 during CUNA, league and credit unions’ successful fight to enact H.R. 1151, the Credit Union Membership Access Act.)

More congressional and regulatory speakers will be announced in coming weeks.
